It was a record business result of Hoa Phat Group in the context that raw material prices fluctuated continuously.

Hoa Phat Group's export markets such as the US, Malaysia, Singapore, Combodia and Philippines also produced good results with about 127,000 tons of construction steel being delivered.

The steel product of Hoa Phat Group continued to dominate the market with sales volume in the first nine months reaching nearly 425,900 tons that accounted for more than 25% of total steel pipe consumption in Vietnam.
